COM 325 Capella University Conflict and Cooperation Final Paper Essay

This week we begin drafting our Final Paper by creating an outline with COMPLETE SENTENCES. As you begin thinking about the paper, read the directions very carefully to make sure you understand what is required.

undefined

Next, identify five (5) conflict topics you wish to focus on in your Final Paper. These will become your main supporting points (i.e. 5 body paragraphs) in your paper.

undefined

Following, begin forming your thoughts by writing a thesis statement. Your thesis statement should be very specific to the paper you will be writing. It is typically presented at the end of your introduction in a declarative form, and includes the preview of main arguments you will be presenting. Each section should include a heading with your selected topic, a topic sentence, evidence of support, reasoning, and a “so what” statement. Do not worry about writing everything out in great detail. For this assignment, you can begin to formulate your claims and support for each of these areas. Please do make sure that your thoughts are presented in full sentences with enough detail to give me an idea of the main content you will be expanding for the Final Paper. You will work on developing that content in depth in your final paper.
